Just Save Yourself What Little Dignity You Have Left

February 04, 2010 By: ArchPundit Category: Uncategorized

Divorce file:

“Over the past year my husband has been taking injectable anabolic steroids,” Cohen’s then-wife Debra York-Cohen said in a statement during their separation proceedings. “As a result he has an erratic and explosive temper.”

As a result of the allegations Cohen, who’s not the Democratic nominee for Lt. Governor, was ordered by a Cook County Circuit Court to undergo “initial and periodic substance testing.”

The divorce documents also allege that Cohen’s steroid use contributed to periodic episodes of violence against his family.

“On or about May 1st 2005, Scott came home in a fit of rage,” reads the statement. “Scott began swearing and cussing and an altercation began to ensue between Scott and our son. During this altercation the other kids were upstairs hysterically crying.”

 

And, I mean, who doesn’t want to have sex with your spouse after he admits to multiple affairs:

“He knows how concerned I am since he admitted to me that he has been sleeping around and is constantly taunting me about getting a sexual disease,” she said in court filings.

“He was physically abusive to me many years ago,” she added. “He has even brought women into our home and in my bed, with no regard to whether the (four) children are home.”

Among the specific allegations in her petition, Debra Cohen claimed that on May 9, 2005, after repeatedly “coming home at all hours in the middle of the night” for several days, Scott Lee Cohen confessed to several affairs and tried to have sex with her.

“Despite my refusals, he tried to force himself on me, until I pushed him away and emphatically told him no,” Debra Cohen claimed in the petition.

 

====
The petition also includes allegations that Scott Lee Cohen repeatedly threatened Debra Cohen in writing after she filed for divorce.

“Ever since I filed for divorce (Scott Lee Cohen) continually threatens me in writing, by leaving me intimidating notes,” she alleged. “He stopped leaving me handwritten notes on paper, when he discovered I just take them down. Now he leaves harassing messages on my mirror in lipstick, so everyone, including my grandchildren who live with me can see these notes.”

She said she became so afraid of Scott during their marriage that she often asked her sister and mother to stay with her because she was afraid to be alone with him.

She claimed that one night, when Scott forgot his house keys, he kicked in the garage door to get inside while the rest of the family was sleeping. She also said she called police on several occasions to remove Scott from the house, in front of their children.

 

No dead bunnies reported so far. But now we will have every one of those police reports dug up.  And rightfully so.

 

Dude is like Jack Ryan meets Blair Hull meets Charlie Sheen.

 

UPDATE:  Forgot a little  Gary Skoien:

“He has even brought women into our home and in my bed, with no regard to whether the (four) children are home.”

    Do you think the steroid info is an attempt to appeal to Cub fans who loved Sammy Sosa. It does balance the ticket with Sox fan Quinn!

    You can say anything you want in politics–but say something nasty about Da Cubs and you are doomed! I love my White Sox and make no apologies!
